Do you have selected the right kernel for build? Please compare the output of the following two commands:

Code:

uname -a
eselect kernel list

If they do not match, select the right kernel (the one you are at the moment). It is very important, that you do not have selected any in-kernel graphics driver (framebuffer drivers doesn't have anything to do with that). after that, select the right opengl interface:

Code:

eselect opengl list

after that, your drivers should work. Maybe you should set VIDEO_CARDS="nvidia" in your make.conf and recompile all packages against the nvidia driver.

I always do point 3, so Im not 100% sure if points 1 and 2 will be working, but it should be -> fastest test to do it directly in grub_________________ Installation aborted to prevent system self-destruction

After removing and recompiling, my Nvidia drivers works now and is about 10x faster (60fps to 590fps) in glxgears!

However I have one other question, for some reason the dpi/font of my GUI (Fluxbox) is now huge! Much bigger then when I'm using the Intel driver. (I did ensure that the resolution is still the same- nothing was changed in the GUI)

Its probably about dpi, no idea where it is in fluxbox, in kde there is settings -> force dpi for fonts,
but probably u will have to change xorg.conf in monitor section
and add
Option "UseEdidDpi" "false"
Option "DPI" "96 x 96"

btw 590 fps in glxgears is deadly low ( i7 on software rendering maybe could get more , I think it should be about 10 000 fps, I have 7000 fps on GF 430GT, not sure but your card looks more powerful )_________________ Installation aborted to prevent system self-destruction

hmm, you have set Vsync on probably ( check nvidia-settings and uncheck sync to vblank if checked )
If it will work, u might keep Vsync enabled if u are not going to play any demanding games._________________ Installation aborted to prevent system self-destruction

Can you think of any reason why?

I have the same problem but your solution did not help, I still get a blank screen._________________#Joseph

However, I never had a blank screen (my error was Xorg complaining about "no screens found" or something) When I removed the Nouveau support in the kernel and recompiled the kernel my Nvidia driver was working fine.

I did however find, I had to follow the following process to ensure everything worked:

I suppose now u should have /opt/bin/nvidia-xconfig or /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig

It looks like kernel-3.5.7 is not compatible with my my nvidia card
I downgraded the kernel to 3.1.6 and both (nvidia and xorg-x11) works with my nvida-driver-295.75 but after switching to kernel-3.5.7 the "X" will not start (I'm running xfce4)

I have the same problem now. I have just updated (emerge-webrsync) and got the latest Kernel Linux 3.7.9-gentoo #2 SMP

After recompiling the new kernel, I couldn't modprobe-rebuild rebuild my Nvidia driver!
When modprobe-rebuild rebuild try and re-emerge the driver, compile fails on:

Quote:

*** Unable to determine the target kernel version. ***

Someone have an Idea why?

and I did eselect kernel to the latest kernel version.

I'm busy emerging the latest Nvidia Driver (beta) to see if does resolve the problem....

if not I'll revert back to the previous kernel 3.6.11 and stable Nvidia drivers that works

I do however have another irritating problem in the sense, since I have started using the nvidia drivers, my boot and terminal sessions seems to be running in 640x480 res.
Do you know of a way to fix this??
